In: Benha Veterinary Medical Journal 2007.v.18(1)lSummary: The present work was designed to study the effect of dietary vitamin D3 deficiency and supplementation with vitamin D3 or calcium on some endocrine, mineral and lipid assays in male Albino rats for six weeks experimental period.. A total of 65 rats were divided into five comparable groups: (G 1) received the basal diet; (G2) received the vitamin D3 deficient- diet; (G3) received the vitamin D3 deficient-diet, but given vitamin D3 orally three times weekly for the last three weeks; (G4) received the vitamin D3 deficient-diet, but given vitamin D3 orally daily for the last 2 weeks and (G5) received the vitamin D3 deficient-diet for four weeks then high calcium for the last 2 weeks. The present results showed a significant increase in concentrations of serum insulin, magnesium and calcium as well as a significant decrease in serum phosphorus, alkaline phosphatase (ALP) activity, cholesterol, triacylglycerol, parathyroid hormone (PTH) and thyroxine (T4) in groups 3, 4 and 5 when compared with (G2 ). From the present study, an improvement in all parameters, even the glucose-tolerance test, was concluded in G4 followed by G3 and finally G5
